Baby soft skin

What comes to your mind when you think of babies? For me its the softness and coochy coo and the incredible smell that come along with the babies. I have been fond of babies right from the beginning. So when I became a father, my joy knew no bounds!

Along with the joys of having a baby come lots of woes too. Babies are tough to handle and even tougher to take care of. They are so delicate that they need the tenderest care and products to keep them healthy and happy.

After I became a father I realised that the toughest part in the baby care regime is taking care of their delicate skin. Okay I agree that feeding babies is the most challenging part. The second challenge is how to keep their skin soft.

Baby skin is three times thinner than adult skin. Therefore it is more prone to damage. Baby skin is moist looking because it is new; it does not mean that they do not need external hydration. In fact they need more hydration to lock their innate moisture.

Five ways to keep the baby skin soft and safe:

DIAPER BASICS:

Take care of the diaper area. This area is more prone to erosion. The constant friction of the diaper and the wetness of baby urine and the acridity of baby stool (even if for a couple of minutes) robs the baby skin of its natural moisture. The topmost layer (epidermis) gets eroded and the poor baby is left with scary looking diaper rash. One way to prevent it is to powder the area liberally before and after putting the diaper. Secondly use a super soft diaper that feels like a feather on baby skin. Thirdly keep the baby diaper free during daytime. Change the diaper immediately after its gets soiled.

SKIN HYDRATION:

Regular oil massage: Much has been said and written about the benefits of oil massage. Oil penetrates the baby skin and makes it soft. Daily massage of the baby locks the moisture in the skin and makes skin healthy. Olive oil is super beneficial for baby skin.

BATH TIME:

Use body wash instead of soap: Soaps are harsh even if they are made exclusively for babies. Liquid washes are much gentler. Don't let your baby sit for long in the soapy water. Oil the baby before bathing. Apply baby lotion liberally all over the baby after bath. Instead of rubbing the skin vigorously with towel, pat dry gently. Apply the lotion on wet skin.

SKIN PROTECTION:

Use cotton apparel: Skin tends to harden when it is exposed to adverse conditions. Use the softest of fabrics for dressing up your baby. In winters skin tends to go dry. Don't bundle up your baby too much. Dress her up in layers so that the layers can be stripped if it gets warm. Choose fabrics that let the baby skin breath. During summers don't expose the baby directly to the sun. Use umbrella or canopy to protect your delicate baby from sunburn. After 6 months you can use sunscreen that are formulated especially for babies.

BABY ACCESSORIES CARE:

Use mild detergents: Use gentle mild detergents for washing anything. Baby clothes, sweaters, blankets, sheets or towels. These material will remain soft even after washing and prevent skin irritation.

I was too excited when I reached the Ninoy Aquino international airport with my wife. As told you earlier, this tour was planned all by myself. No feedback from any friend, as none of them had ever been to Philippines. I got help from several blogs and of course my best friend TRIPADVISOR.COM . I had booked my hotel way in advance in Makati city, through hotels.com. My research for manila had suggested that most of the monuments and tourist attractions were around one or other metro station. Makati city, a part of metro manila is the most luxurious and happening place in manila. So the idea was to get a good standard hotel near any metro station in makati.

My first breath in the city airport, was followed by the question .... now what.... Again my mind flipped over to peoples' suggestions (from Internet) "getting out from the airport". I was determined to reach my hotel, safe, and in minimum expense.... I had 4 options : Getting a yellow taxi from the airport..... that …

A few months ago, I became a proud house owner. I bought my first house..I mean a three bedroom apartment. Like every other house owner, I too spent a huge chunk of money in renovating...painting the walls in the colours of my choice (or my wife's taste rather), getting wall cabinets and closets built, new furniture and every thing that set apart our flat from others. We even got a fireplace built! Well after everything was complete, it was time for House warming or 'Griha Pravesh'. As the rituals go, after all the Puja, the family has to spend that night in the new house. So me, wife and our daughter slept on the floor of our new bedroom. (Of course none of the furniture had been shifted) Although it was kind of camping; sleeping in a new place, the morning after we woke up with a nasty surprise. Our daughter had a terrible fever and she was awfully sick.Me and my wife realized that there were so many new elements in the house: all the woodwork, plaster of Paris art and o…

Life is unpredictable. It is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, happy and sad moments. Had it been only smooth, there would not have been any excitement! A healthy heart ECG is up and down too...a straight line indicates death. Life is a journey and not a destination. And in order to make the most of that journey, you need the support of strong relationships.

A road trip is very similar to life. It is full of unknown curves and unprecedented traffic jams. Sometimes there may be ditches while at other times you may be cruising at 100 KMPH. Just like life, the requirements of a road trip are pretty similar. You need a good car (of course) which has been serviced recently, its tank full of gas, a stepney, a tool box and a charged battery. The car battery needs to have stamina, strength, and quality for that hassle-free road trip and these qualities are connotative of Amaron batteries.

Over the years,Amaron batteries have been known for their dependence and durable life. They last re…
